Jonathan Kuminga Injury Update
Jonathan Kuminga left Wednesday’s game against the Spurs with knee soreness. He went back to the bench before halftime. The team said he would not return. Kuminga finished the night with zero points and four rebounds. He only played 12 minutes.
Before the game he was listed as questionable. The Warriors called it “bilateral knee patellar tendonitis.” That means both knees were sore and swollen. He was checked by team trainers but the team let him play. The soreness returned during the game, so they pulled him out.
Kuminga started the season strong. He played through some ankle pain earlier in the month. But now his role is changing. Coach Steve Kerr moved him to the bench before tipoff. Kerr also said Kuminga’s minutes have dropped since the first week of November.
The Warriors have lost six away games in a row. The team is moving lineups around to find some energy. Kuminga’s health is now a concern. Patellar tendonitis is the kind of injury that can flare up with hard movement and jumping. Kuminga’s playing style puts extra stress on his knees.
No word yet if he will play Friday when the Warriors face the Spurs again. Official team reports list him as “day to day.” That means there’s no set timeline. The team will check his knee again before the next game. Recovery from tendonitis can be slow. Sometimes players need rest for several days. The Warriors will be careful with Kuminga so he does not risk a worse injury.
Right now, Kuminga’s main issue is soreness and swelling in both knees. No tests revealed any structural damage. The team and trainers will keep watching him. His return date depends on how his knees feel in the next few days. If the swelling goes down, he might play soon. If not, he might miss more games.
In short, Jonathan Kuminga hurt his knees against San Antonio. The Warriors pulled him out for safety. He’s day to day. The team does not want to rush him back. Updates will come as they watch for more symptoms before the next game.
